SD.1
Board of Supervisors
Contra Costa County
Date: January 17 2012 Public Comment
John Fitzgerald, spoke on the various chemicals, including RoundUp(Tm) being sprayed in the delta and
his concerns that local residents are not aware of the timing of the spraying, and the difficulty in
determining what specific chemicals are contained in the pesticides in use. He also mentioned that the state
of Michigan had found a method to recycle the invasive water hyacinth into a biofuel rather than using
eradication procedures;
Rosalind Peterson, resident of Redwood Valley, noted she has filed suit against the Department of Boating
and Waterways and spoke further on the unknown effects on people of the pesticides used in eradication of
invasive species and requested a hearing be held on the matter;
Ralph Hoffman spoke the power of forgiveness and love as preached by Jesus Christ and Dr. Martin Luther
King.
